For Organisations

Career management should not be left to individuals: if organisations are going to retain their best and brightest staff they need to support their career progression and provide a climate where people can grow their skills, symptoms their careers and their satisfaction.

It is true that staff will measure how well an organisation treats its people is not just how well they feel treated but how well those that are asked to leave are treated. Where an organisation invests in those who are leaving they can manage their reputation internally and externally; and prove that they value their people. There might be a practical bonus too, if the leavers are better equipped to walk into new roles, they have less reason to pursue litigation and their claims would be reduced.
